Hand-drawings in the Verne diary from Scandinavia
Many vernians have been wondering about a castle like building in a very nice drawing made by the author, which have appeared several places on the internet. This illustration was also used on the frontcover, when the French magazine GEO published the manuscript of Joyeuses Misères de trois voyageurs en Scandinavie in 2003. After some investigation I finally found out which.
As can be seen in my presentation, the hand drawing apparently is one of the very first buildings that Verne saw when entering the inner parts of the Swedish archipelago. In his diary he has drawn The ‘Kastellet’ on ‘Kastell-holmen’ island, while entering Stockholm harbour..
